Jak and Daxter is one of the best platformers ever for me
The sequels aren't quite as good but I do still like 3 and even 2 has some good things
I like Sly 1/2, not quite as much as Jak but they're still pretty good. 3 I can't get into at all
For R&C the only one I like is 2, but all the PS2 games have some great music

Yeah, the world and characters kind of disgust me. They're really unlikable and ugly. It's the flip of Ratchet, where I absolutely never liked to play those games, but thought the characters were fun.
I'm happy to be back. Bummed I miss the Sephiroth reveal here. I loved that pick
For Crash/Spyro, I really like Crash. It's too bad because I do like the world of Spyro, and Spyro as a character, but I just can't get into the gameplay.
I played the Spyro trilogy for the first time last year and the first two games were good but then it's just like "Wow what happened here?" for the third. It wasn't bad but the level of throwing gameplay ideas to the wall and seeing what sticks was ridiculous.
Yeah, crazy how Rachet keeps getting new(and really boring) games, Jak got a racer and that PSP game, while Sly has been completely abandoned since Sly 3
Actually tbh I'm kinda glad, don't wanna mess with Sly 3's ending after all, haha ha... ha....
Yeah Ratchet and Clank were great. Except the remake where they ruined the characters for no good reason.
I didn't realize how try-hard Jak 2 was. Felt like the team (think it was naughty Dog) had to use the Jak's IP but wanted to make a much more mature game. It was weird/confused game
Idk, just something about this game doesn't appeal to me at all. I think it's a combination of the art style and what I've seen of the story which seems really bad. And those things were probably the main draw to me for the Sly games, more than the gameplay

This is kind of the MO of Sony franchises tbh. You get to the third entry and either it becomes tediously boring, or they go in 10 different directions with weird shit and it feels messy as fuck.
GTAIII happened.
It's super weird they turned R&C1 Rachet into a wide-eyed boy scout who like admires Quark??? Also the music, god, the music
Checking out The Magic Box again, platformer game edition. There are more years than this but I don't feel like looking at the rest of them.
Also there's fiddliness between YTD and LTD in these charts, I realize.

Memory's really hazy with alot of the finer details but all I really remember is the games being alot more melodramatic and them trying to make Rachet into a 'last of his people' chosen oneHaven't played the future PS3 Ratchet games. Are they still like this?
Also he wasn't a jerk. That was some good development in the original after being pissed off with Clank and wanting to get Quark

Jak 2 is fookin' PISS
thanks for coming to my Tedtalk
I didn't play the trilogy until the remasters/remakes and actually I thought they were pretty good factoring in their PS1 early 3D era origins, well 1 and 2 were good, 3 is the classic platforming trilogy trope of "we're out of ideas so GIMMICKS" and then I hit a game breaking bug the devs took a year to patch so fuck it.

Kasumi is P5R
Sophie is P5S.(Or Zenkichi)
(Though yes we need more Persona music.)
You make the best Avatar for losing side (more like winning side actually lol).
rather Wholesome then those kinda nasty avatars people rather choose when they win a bet lol
On top of this...
...we don't know if Atlus has full rights to the P5S tracks or not.Kasumi is P5R
Sophie is P5S.(Or Zenkichi)
Then Nintendo needs to ask the other ones with the rights
they got the cash and people to do it. They can't be SE level of trouble, or they can I don't know lol
Koei Tecmo would be the ones to have partial rights if it's another AoC situation.
Yes but Kasumi is the bestKasumi is P5R
Sophie is P5S.(Or Zenkichi)

Everyone should read this. It's fucking amazing.

Only the most truthful takes over here.
I'd like to try the trilogy, because I actually have a lot of nostalgia for Spyro 1 and 2. They were the first games my little sister ever bought, and she asked me to help her with them a lot, which basically meant I played them in their entirety. Not sure how much they cleaned those games up, but it'd at least be a trip.
Now if only someone would remake Spice World and A Bug's Life, I could replay my sister's entire PS1 library to completion.
I don't have lots of nostalgia with Spyro, but I've grown lot more of respect to the series thanks to my.. ex. But I can see the argument of Spyro 1 being the best game in the OG trilogy (heck, maybe in the whole franchise), for being a honest to God, straight forward collect-a-thon sandbox platformer.
When you starting adding NPCs and stuff to do outside that core platforming mechanics, it's when I start losing interest. (Crash 3 suffers a lot of this too)

especially the cinematic experience. Jak 2 did a lot of that. Tho they forgot to give Jak a worth while personality. Generic as they come.
No joke, A Bug's Life and the Toy Story games were THE reason I was so excited to see Traveller's Tales take care of the Crash games after ND! In some aspects they didn't disappoint me at all :p
Like don't get me wrong the story wasn't good (there didn't need to be a Sly 4) but i liked the ansectors and the focus on Sly when compared to Sly 3
Can i just say that Zenkichi's design is straight fireKasumi is P5R
Sophie is P5S.(Or Zenkichi)
(Though yes we need more Persona music.)
All I can say is that, reading that interview with Jason Rubin above, one can definitely see how Naughty Dog transitioned from making games like Crash Bandicoot to eventually The Last of Us lol
Hopefully that rumored Naughty Dog game with a black protagonist turns out well if said rumors are true, because they've had a string of issues regarding their black characters.
They went from Crash being a silent protagonist (because they thought a starring character talking too much would be annoying, as is the case with Gex and Bubsy), from getting some kind of Guinness Book World Record for Jak for being the platforming game with biggest amount of cutscenes and dialogue ever for that time... to making Uncharted and The Last of Us... 'x'
Needless to say why I got stuck with Crash and not ND.
For me, the change with ND happened pretty abruptly when they dropped Jak and went to Uncharted. The two creators of Crash/Jak also left during this time, and probably a lot of other people also. Even though Jak 2 went "edgier" than their other games, I still felt like there was a focus on fun gameplay, and the world still felt fantastical/creative. With Uncharted it felt like they were trying to go hard in the opposite direction. It was a realistic world and the gameplay also felt more grounded. Tbh, these games just weren't as fun to play for me, and it feels like a completely different studio that I don't have much interest in
The story is the biggest reason I'm disappointed.(that and they decided to sex up Carmelita for some reason, really don't like her Sly 4 look.)
